Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Background: Absence epilepsy is a common epilepsy syndrome in children. This can have a negative impact on the cognitive abilities of preschool and school-age children. The objective was to study in the Guinean context, the epidemiological, clinical, electrophysiological, therapeutic and evolutionary aspects of this syndrome. Methods: The study included all children diagnosed with absence epilepsy based on evidence obtained from history, clinical, and electroencephalogram. Results: The cohort was made up of 41 girls and 28 boys with a sex ratio (F/M) equal to 1.46. The mean age was 8 ± 2 years with extremes of 2 and 14 years. The simple absences were observed in 42.02% of cases. The components : tonic was associated in 11.59%, clonic in 10.14%, atonic in 13.04%, automatisms in 15.94% and vegetative in 7.25%. EEG was typical in 75.36%. As monotherapy, sodium valproate was used in 92.75% and ethosuximide in 2.9%. The evolution was marked by a remission of seizures in 85.51%. During follow-up, the appearance of tonic-clonic convulsions was noted in 4.3%, myoclonus in 2.9%, a combination of myoclonus and tonic-clonic convulsions noted in 4.3%. Conclusions: Effective and efficient collaboration between stakeholders is essential for the best overall management of this syndrome with serious cognitive repercussions in children.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
